Even with the final version, if they can do that to evil clones of the Mane 6, there’s no reason they can’t destroy Chrysalis with outline effect or a shower of sparkles (like the villain in Glitter Force: Doki Doki), and no reason Sombra and the Storm King can’t be dead.

When I was 8 years old I watched this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4voZl28ADM from The Dark Crystal and I turned out mostly OK. My issues stem from shitty things people did to me not from stuff I saw in a movie. If anything it’s movies like Dark Crystal that helped me through all that shittiness. I’m sure your sister would be fine.
As a little kid, anything with distorted faces really scared me, but I’m not sure this alteration would have made much of a difference in how much it would have disturbed me. As an adult, I perceive the version on the left as more gruesome, but as a little kid I probably wouldn’t have even noticed the details, just the fact that Twilight’s face was melting.
